That’s cool. I worked on the movie and I wish I had more stuff saved, I don’t have anything like that. I really just wish I had the original script because that was a mindfuck and I almost thought I was being linked when I read it.

Anyways, that dumb sword above is $15 and I’m tempted to buy it.

It's a cheap replica not an actual movie prop, I was just being a sarcastic douche. Sorry for the confusion.

I can remember doing a self defense course at school ~20 years ago and being taught how to disarm a knife wielding attacker.

If they held the knife right out in front of them. With a pretty much straight arm. With the blade pointing up. And you were within a yard of them, face on and unencumbered.

We thought it was pretty dumb at the time and we were just children. British, admittedly, so we knew a bit about stabbing folks for fun and profit.

LOL. Even if you know what you’re doing you *will* get cut. Probably badly, since even if you’re very skilled you’re still fighting someone with a loving knife.

The best defense against a knife attack is to run. Preferably faster than the person with a knife.

If you’re like that doorman posted earlier vs the guy with the gun, you probably have pretty good odds against a knife too. Huge, quick, threat aware and capable of instant effective aggression. There’s like one of these per 10,000 population though.

They may be? Companies that sell this kind of crap usually just take regular money and paint/decorate it. There was a similar thing with dollar coins a few years ago.

Just :lol: at the idea of selling something with a face value of $2 for a bazillion percent markup to dipshits.

there's an old maxim about knife fighting that goes something like no one wins a knife fight but someone loses first

it's really hard to stab someone to death so if you can overpower a dude with a knife you got a good shot

I heard it as, you can deface it all you want, but after a certain amount of the bill/coin in covered, it is useless as money and is only a decorative item. Like, an autograph is okay and still spendable, but turning George Washington into the clown from IT would be too much. I'm old, though, so they may have changed it since then.

Pretty sure it's a series of step-downs where the feds have a standard that they hold banks to, then each bank & bank teller will have to hold cash deposits (mostly businesses) to their own standard. Then the business owners decide how many fucks they give

So, would it be lame or cool to use an antique straight razor for my EDC? 99% of my knife needs involve cutting open boxes and packages, and I think an old straight razor would handle that just fine. I guess it would also be good for self defense maybe.

Lame because razors are ground at a very acute angle that won't hold up to utility use, plus there's nothing stopping one from just falling open in your pocket unless you wrap a rubber band around it or have a leather sheath made for it like some kind of supergoon.

Non-pointy knives are currently trendy, though. https://www.bladehq.com/item--Spyderco-Roc-Folding-Cleaver-Knife--20410

Knives always suck rear end for defense even if you know what you're doing with one since your primary defense should be running like hell, get pepper spray or a gun or a taser or something that lets you retreat instead of getting closer to your attacker.
